Vertical positioning for Xbox One X and Xbox One S

The Xbox One X and Xbox One S can both be positioned vertically, but each console requires a stand for vertical placement. The stand, which is sold separately or as part of a bundle, is different for each.

Make sure you use only the stand designed for your Xbox, which helps console stability and operation. Without the stand, vertical positioning blocks a cooling vent.

Alternatively, third-party manufacturers make wall mounts for Xbox One X and Xbox One S for vertical orientation.

Whether you’re positioning your Xbox vertically or horizontally, make sure it’s on a flat, stable surface.

The Xbox One accessories warranty covers whichever Microsoft stand you use. To request an in-warranty replacement, go to Microsoft Device Services. If you are out of warranty, you can buy a replacement stand at the Microsoft Store or participating retailers.

If you need your Xbox serviced by Microsoft, be sure to remove the stand before sending in the console.
